My rear passenger door will not close. It just

Did you look at door latch on door? In the old days sometimes, a piece for the door latch assembly would get turned down, when that happened, the door would bounce off the door stud on door frame. Sometimes you could take a screwdriver and flip that arm up, then the door will shut. The door stud on the door frame has to go into a slot on the door latch mechanism.
Granted, I can't see anything from here? I may be barking up the wrong tree? Just a thought.

First, with the door almost tight; spray the inside area with wd40 to coat the painted area then, use a test spray paint color to see if the paint will stick to the wd40 and the wipe off, if it does you will be able to close the door and open the front door with the rear door closed and spray the hinge area with a paint to make your marker then use a jack with cloth at the bottom to protect the new door to aid in tightening and realingning

This worked for me on 2008 Mk5 Golf, after the rear passenger door would not open fro outside or inside.

Hold the inside door latch open and keep it extended, then with the key fob open and close the door locks (still holding the inside latch open). Keep locking and unlocking the door, then it made a kluck and it released.

Door latch on door itself is in closed position if it will not close at all. In this case, open door and pull outside handle hard to pop open door latch. If you have door opening at random, door latch needs replacing or door catch on body is loose.

If the latch is in the closed position, simply use a screwdriver to pry as if the door was being opened at the same time as you pull on the handle to open it. This will return the latching part to its proper position and you can then close the door. If the latch is already open and won't close when you shut the door, the quickest way to get it closed is to heat the latch with a blowtorch. Don't get close enough to the door that you scorch and burn the paint but heat the area arond the latch for about 30 seconds or so and the door should latch. You could also do this with a hair dryer or heat gun but it will take longer. Open and close it a few times quickly and it should work properly for a while. To keep it from happening again, once you have it working freely then spray into the latch with some WD-40 or RustCheck. Don't be shy with the spray and get it right into the latch through the door. If it keeps being a problem then before you spray it with a lubricant use a small can of lock de-icer once you have the door working. After that put the lubricant in. Hope this helps.

Before you take the inner door panel apart try to spray an oil like WD40 into the door latch mechanism & Open & close many times. The return spring for the latch has stuck and it needs some waking up. Getting then inner panel off does not help that much in access.

sounds like the lock lach is dry or rusted solid time to take the door skin off or roll window down insert straw from wd40 roll window up and spray the chit out of it unload on the inside of the door and dont be afraid to use 1/2 a can it will run out the botom of the door but it should free the lock once it works re spray the lock with lithium grease inside and out it wll help the lock keep working longer

very inexpensive. dont replace anything. just get WD40 and spray the latch on the inside very well. then lift the door handle up and get a screw driver and push the latch up. then press it down and repeat. keep working the latch for a whiile. it will work out

I usually spray guide tracks with a silicone spray. It works pretty well. Up north where I am, when sprayed on door seals it keeps doors from freezing closed as well!

spray penatraiting oil in door latch open and close repeatedly,suspected door.hold outside handle open and bounce off striker
